The Chevrolet car in which the Gentry family was rid ing was practically cut in two pieces and the Chrysler, in which the Chnr lotte pnrty was riding, was completely wrecked. In the county jail here this morn ing Leonard admitted ownership of the Chrysler but denied that he was driving. He said Vogler was at the wheel when the accident occurred, and thnt he was on the rear seat. Vogler. when seen in jail, said Leonard was driving. Mr. and Mrs. Davis, the former with more than 150 stitches in his ls*dy, were not in condition to discuss * IW eft!*.'' Rrpnty Sheriff I. T. Chapman, of Kannapolis, who investigated the wreck and made the arrests, stated this morning that a pint bottle, par tially filled with whiskey, wks found in the car. He said Leonard would he charged with driving a car while intoxicated unless more serious charg es were preferred following the inves tigation of a coroner's jury. The Gentry girt was instantly killed when the Chrysler struck the lighter Chevrolet. She was thrown some dis tance from the car, her head was crushed and her brains scattered along the asphalt highway. A baby held on Mrs. Baker's lap was thrown 50 feet, hut fortunately struck a pile of sand and was not so much as scratched. Mr. Gentry received bruises and slight cuts but did not need hospital treatment. The wounded persons were rushed to the hospital here, Vogler later be ing taken to the county jail' to be held as a materinl witness. He suf fered slight cuts and a broken rib. Deputy Sheriff Chapman stnted that several persons who saw the Chrsyler a few seconds before the accident told him it apparently was “wide open." He also stated that the car, after practically smashing through the mid dle of the Chevrolet, ran 53 steps be fore it was halted. There was little left of the Chrysler except the two rear wheels and tires. Leonard admitted in jail this morn ing that he was drunk at the time of the accident. "I had been drinking ‘home brew’,” he said. “This man Vogler insisted that we go to (Salisbury but I refused to agree to that. Then he suggested that we go for a x *litt’.e air.’ What could I say? “I did not know we ever went to Salisbury. I remember stopping at a negro’s house where Vogler bought a pint of liquor. I paid for it and everything else we had. Later we stopped at a soft drink stand, but I do not remember where it was. “Vogler was driving all of the time. V I tried to get under the wheel once or twice but each time they threw me in the back and Vogler took the wheel. I had $25 when I left my of fice about 1 o'clock Thursday after noon and this morning I haven't any thing. I don’t know whether the sheriff took it when he locked me up, to save it for me, or whether we had spent it before the accident. “I don't remember anything about the accident. The first thing I re member I was out if the car and a great crowd was around me. I thought somebody else had been in an accident and we had stopped to see it. I didn't feel anything when ht hit the car. If I had been driving don’t you think I would have known some thing about it?” “Vogler and this man called Davis came to my office about I o'clock and asked me to go to their home and get some more ‘home brew.’ I had been drinking some, which had worn off and I needed something else, I do not know how long we were there but I remember protesting about the Salisbury trip and promising to take them there some other time. When we left the Davis home or the Vogler home, Vogler was driving. I was The Concord Daily Tribune .1 " 1 not driving at any time on the trip.” .' Vogler would not discuss the aeei dent at length. He said Leonard was driving and intimated that the 1 driver of the Chevroet was on the ! wrong side of the road when the acei • dent occurred. "We were driving pretty fust." lie ’ said. “Just as we passed another car we saw the Chevrolet, which turned suddenly into the side street." ‘ Deputy Sheriff Chapman said Gen try told him he was driving slowly at ! the time be was hit, and was dear off the asphalt, giving the car passing him and approaching him plenty of spare. "He told me the Chrysler | was swaying from am* side to unoth ' er,” Officer Chapman said, '‘and that despite the fact that he was entirely off the asphalt. the onmshtng car struck him." Vogler gave two names to hospital attaches here but said this morning thnt Voxler is his right unme. He called his brother-in-law. W. M. Mil ler. of Second avenue. Charlotte, who came to Concord soon after the acci -deut. The Davis couple asked hospital at taches to call Mr. Hortou, of No. 9 West 12th street. He was reached on the 'phone but did not come to Concord. He is said to be Mrs. Davis' father. This address corre sponds with the one mentioned by Leonard, who said he went to 12th street to get the ‘home brew' with Davis, his wife and Vogler. Vogler. it is said, has a wife and three children in Charlotte. His home address is not known. Leonard said he has a divorce suit pending in Meck lenburg Superior Court now and in timated that it was to have been heard during the day.

The jury was advised that Leonard plaited the blame for the accident on .Vogler hut it was stated that evi-' deuce ‘ mibßiitied VrmrftH’Ht the Jury ‘ that Leonard was driving and Volger was freed. Hundreds of iiersons from Concord and Kannapolis visited the scene of tlie wreck Thursday night and this 1 morning. The wrecked Chevrolet was moved early this morning but the smashed Chrysler was left in the field where it finally stopped/its mad flight, a silent reminder, it seemed, of the danger of fast driving. Colonel Kirkpatrick, of the Char lotte bar, has been retained by Leon ard, it is said. New Tangle in Cooper Mystery. Asheville. May 12.—C4 5 )—A sack of onions found under the body of Mrs. Mary It. Cooper, 61-year-old widow, today developed a new tangle in the investigation of her death. So many strange circumstances have been de veloped in the case since finding of the body on Tuesday morning in a va cant lot adjoining her borne, that of ficers have practically abandoned the suicide theory first advanced, and it is now,generally believed that the death of the aged woman presents one of the most puzzling murder mysteries on record in this section. Practice may not make a lawyer perfect, but enough of it will make him rich. THE STOCK MARKET Reported by Fenner A Beane (Quotations nt 1:30 P. M.)

BIGGEST GEMS ARE 5 VALUELESS TO REDR Soviets Cannot Get Rid of Crown Jewels of the Czars. | Moscow. May 12.—The soviet • ernment owns so many precious din >' monds that it cannot get rid of them! It is choked with its own richest The c crown jewels of the czars, not owned • by the government, are eonspratively ' valued at not a penny less than $230.- 000,000, but they might as well be worth nothing, so far as they help the soviet state. * They arc so valuable thnt nobody ‘ will buy them. And the government which owns this kingly fortune in 1 gems is hard up for cash. ’ The officials in the Commissariat of Finance are trying to forget they pos sess such things as diamonds and emeralds and pearls, while they sit up nights figuring out ways to get the cash they need to keep the country going. One gigantic uncut diamond in the top of the former imperial scepter, would take a great load off the minds, of the government's financial planners, if it could be turned into money. If is the Orloff diamond, shaped like anj egg and nearly as large, flawless and' worth tens-of millions of dollars. But nobody wants it. It was given to; the Empress Catherine the Great in the days of reckless spending by a courtier who thought he was slipping from her favor and wanted to get back into hoi- good graces. It is too valuable to be bought nowadays. Little Chunk Worth Millions. There is another little chunk of transparent stone which would re lieve the government of worrying about some $15.000,000 if only some tbody could, be found, to.buy it. This Mowepffaitcd tittle bit oft value, is onftfe , an inch long and half an inch sqtiaW. about half the size of a mat eh box. . But it is all diamond, without a blemish. Catherine tile Great gets credit for adding that one, too. to the worries of the bolsheviks who succeed ed her iu power some 150 years after , The (Impress Catherine threatened to I make war on the Shall of Persia, and he sent her this $15,000,000 trinket to keep the peace. It was rumored* that Catherine the Great knew the Shah had this stone and suspected he itiight do something like that with it if she talked loud enough about war. Rut some of the present soviet finan ciers wish Catherine had not been quite so great. She loaded them with an aggravating problem. They think she ipight have taken the money in stead. Diamond Perfect Two-Inch Mirror. Up on tile top of the Imperial Crown, perched on n little hill of sparkling diamonds, is a ruby which would build several hydro-electric stn , Lions if it could be turned into dollars. It is shaped like a sickle-pear with a twist to the narrow end of it. All it is good for now is to turn the sun light into n pslash of magnificent rose when the rays go through it It is still a long way from being turned into even one hydro-electric station. Nobody can be found whoy can afford to buy it though the government might be ready to sell it ilirt cheap—for some $20,000,000 perhaps.

South than has any other act. po litical or otherwise, since the Civil War. save only the calling out, com missioning nnd putting into active service by President McKinley, dur ing the Spanish-Amprican war. of those matchless soldiers and ex-Con federate generals. McKinley called for the genex-a’.s for carnage and war. The institute has drafted the service of captains and kings of industry and icnce.” Devoting a large part of his address to the plight of the southern cotton farmer. Mr. Gossett said that the in stitute could not reach the full fru ition of its ho|>es of stabilizing the in dustry on a basis of safe and sane prosperity without including in its labors and research work for the de velopment and advanenient of the cot ton grower. "Some way,” he assert ed, "must be found to bring the grow er into the institute nnd to make him a component part of it.” • We have just harvested the largest cotton crop in history of the country, but according to all reports it will average viq-j low in gratae, possibly brfo\v r strict low middling.' due Wrgrty to improper handling.

Raleigh, May 13.-—The verdict of , ! the New York courts in the Snyder iGrn.v trial recalled in legal circles here | today the famous North Carolina ease of Ida Ball Warren in which a woman and her paramour were sentenced to death only to be spared later by the mercy of a governor. Ida Ball Warren and her lover, said Christy, finding a husband in the way. slew hhn at night, placed his hotly in a trunk and threw the trunk in a river. That happened at Winston- Salem in 11)15. They were tried in Forsyth County Superior Court, con victed and sentenced to the electric chair. As the date for the execution drew near, an overwhelming sentiment was raised against permitting u woman to die in the chair and widespread ap peals were made to Governor Ixicke Craig. Finally, after extended and wearisome consideration of the ease, the Governor spared the woman with the eourngeously frank announcement that her sex alone had caused him to do it. Having saved the woman, he regard ed it as a matter of simple justice that the man,] too, should not 'be al lowed to die, so the pair escaped the chair and drew life terms instead. Both are still serving. Ida Ball at the Central prison here, and Oliirsty at the Calidonia farm. Numerous ap peals in late years have been made for the isjrole of the woman but gov ernors have declined to consider them. Blanket reductions in the terms of prisoners, made under executive orders from time to time, have, however, giv en both the promise of freedom after thirty years. With Our Advertisers.
